- Trouble is you confuse the effects of having drugs in society with the
- effect of the "War on Drugs". If drugs were legal, you would have
- have such a large black market (if any). Furthermore the quality of
- substances would be significantly higher. How often do you see kids
- ODing on alchohol? How often do you see people drinking wood alcohol
- tainted stuff and going blind? How much of a black market is there
- for alcohol?
-
- Most of the problems of the type you describe are a result of the
- illegality of drugs -- not the drugs themselves.
-
- As far as the 'profit' motive, hey, so those freedom fighters are
- mercenaries. I don't see any organized army fighting for our freedom, so
- I guess mercenaries are needed. You might wonder about our US military
- fighting for our freedom -- shit. They are being used in military
- operations in our state to 'control' the population & fight the
- drug war. If this isn't a war, they why is the military involved?
-
- Of course, to relate this to nudity -- personal drug use and nudity
- are integrally related. They both are about your personal freedom.
- If we go with the premise that you have personal freedom and
- responsibliity. And if you go with the premise that you can do as
- you will on your own property, and on shared (public) property as long
- as you are not harming others, then suddenly nudism and drugs become
- legal.
